Seems logical enough to me. It has, at least in my part of the country, been the most mild winter in my memory. We hit the 70s the majority of the days in February, with overnight lows in the 50s. I'm in North Carolina, not Florida! We're supposed to have mild winters, but this year, other than that one weekend where much of the south saw negative temperatures... it's like we skipped right from fall to spring. I've barely even worn long pants. Nice weather leads to more travel, outdoor activity, more shopping, more going to restaurants. If it's cold and rainy, you stay home more.
